Bear with me, on this boba liberal’s video.
She talks a bit about restriction, censorship, and standardization of exported media by the ebil CCP /s, but rather focuses it on its consequent dullness, on-the-nose approach and cheapening of its media products…
How would you respond to this, point by point? (Sorry if I may sound like I argue in bad-faith)
Additional thanks if you don’t rely too much on whataboutism (yes, we can apply the artificial-politics-imposed media label, associated with CPC, on U.S media, like G.I Joe and Rambo, some of them even funded by the Department of Defense)
does china really NEED media exports to appease westerners though? of course on the western internet china will seem “uncool” or be the punchline in jokes, because the western internet is full of racist, anti-communist liberals or neo-nazis. china is powerful enough on the overall world stage, and especially the global south, to not need to have “soft power” propped up by capitalist media that westerners eat up like kpop or anime (that is also rife with exploitation in their respective industries as well). to me this just kinda seems like “why doesn’t china make itself look nicer for the western internet users???”.
